After a rollercoaster of a year, #Directioners were dealt another blow last night as the boys were forced to cancel an #OTRA tour date, as they announced on Twitter that because of Liam's illness, the show in Belfast would not be taking place last night.

"Unfortunately One Direction have had to cancel tonight's concert in Belfast. Liam has been taken suddenly ill, and the concert will sadly not be taking place. Fans have been asked to hold on to their tickets and there will be a further statement tomorrow. The band apologise to their fans and wish Liam well as soon as possible."
